still here...

... I am!  Really, I am!  This year has flown past so far... and I suppose it's almost April?  We had three burst pipes in January (as part of the "big thaw") and then my cousin died (he was only 42)... and then, of course, the anniversary of my dad's death... milestones, moments (and the odd disaster in the form of burst pipes) - it's funny how, before you know it, two months have passed!  The burst pipe damage is an ongoing joy.

Erin is now 8 months old.  She's at a great age and very communicative (i.e. she says "hiya" 142 times per hour) and lots of fun.  I've been doing a fair bit of card making (albeit I haven't posted many of my creations, I appreciate; you can see some - but by no means all - on my other blog).  I've been scrapbooking more than card making, though; Erin is a great subject!  A couple of recent pages (neither of which involves Erin, oddly!):-

I've used Maya Road mists on both of these... I'm currently obsessed with misting everything which doesn't move fast enough.  There are worse vices.

We were on holiday in Crail again during February and had a great time.  I'll finish up with a photo taken on Tentsmuir beach.  As you can see, the weather was pretty good for most of the week.  The mutt had a great time and his little paws were walked and walked... he found a cricket ball and a tennis ball on this particular day and the look of excitement (and confusion - which to choose?!) on his face was classic.
